And, as long as we have the can of SVG wide open, let’s have a deeper look into animating SVGs!

RemySharpe does a little DevTools Timeline deep-dive to find that opacity is the cause of his janky scrolling. But way more interesting to me is just watching someone use DevTools to really dig into a performance investigation, and then to find that I am not the only person that has no idea what all those colored bars mean, or how to really make use of them to fix the problem… Whew! :-)

jsinspect… is a tool for detecting copy-pasted and structurally similar JavaScript. It also detects boilerplate and repeated logic, so you could use it to extract code into methods or help find dead code.

If you ever work with remote content, and have to do so via the command line, chances are, whether you know it, like it, or not, you’ve been inside of a Vim editor. And it probably sucked. RobertNyman is here to help you get to know Vim just a little better…
